You have to understand the Indian family structure. The whole family (father, mother, sons and daughters) live in the same household and they give their salary to the father. This becomes a large pool of money.
Indian and Pakistani families bought lots of gas station / convenience stores and have dominated in motels / hotels for decades.
Well they apparently are honest and hard-working and earned it, in my experience . . . unless they got some immigrant advantage so who knows anymore??
BUT . . . our sons and daughters and grand-kids should be able to afford to buy a HOME, RIGHT?? If they work hard and etc. WHY is home-ownership itself out of reach now?? For American families? While "investors" gobble up family HOMES and turn them into rental properties?
A decade ago, homes were affordable. No longer. And WE are taxed at confiscatory rates to get us to sell out! [Unless massive fires force homeowners to sell out b/c they cannot rebuild . . . ]
Part of it is college debt. Part of it is jobs given to visa holders. Part of it may be indeed, less work and saving ethic . . . but it all has to change. American families deserve to live in their own homes! [Even if the bank and property taxes really "own" the home!]
SO a decade ago my kid and spouse could have afforded a nice traditional ranch house here, but they decided to go on "California dreaming" and did not move back. Now they are moving back . . . into our basement . . . : (
I was once a co-owner of a small auto detailing shop. Small business owners tend to know each other. Immigrants were getting a break on taxes for several years. Once that time ran out, then they would sell to a relative and the grift kept going on.

Tbh that’s not a bad model of having a nuclear family. It was probably like that here before the 20th century back when we had hard money.
